In winter, the temperature drops faster in most cities of China, but in Yunnan, the weather is always like spring with warm sunshine. 

Dali, a dream-like city, has beautiful Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain. The sun shines on the lake and the waves dance and sparkle. The wind blows away the clouds, so the snow on the top of Cangshan appears.

Honghe, a warm winter can be found here. It is the home for countless migratory birds, like egrets, purple swamphens, and grey head pheasants.

Shangri-La, a place of mysterious charm, is one of the best places to enjoy snow-covered landscape. Dozens of black-necked cranes come to Napahai Lake for the winter every year.

Xishuangbanna, located in the south of Yunnan, is the home of Asian elephants. You will have an encounter with the tropical rainforest landscape, as well as rich ethnic customs. 

Besides, there are many beautiful scenery in Yunnan, such as Fuxian Lake and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Anyway, welcome to Yunnan, a destination for winter.
